U.N. Suggests Reparations for African Americans; Daddy Daughter Dance; Detroit Student Supports Detroit Teachers' Sickout; America Is Poisoning Our Ch

U.N. Suggests Reparations for African Americans Phillip Jackson Testifies at United Nations Hearing at Chicago State University 2016 Daddy Daughter Dance Detroit Student Supports Teacher Sickout Flint Water - "Oh Hell Naw!!!" Quote of the Day Links: The Black Star Project's website: blackstarproject.org Black Star Journal: blackstarjournal.org Become a Member: Click Here Make a donation: Like us on Facebook: Follow us on Twitter: US government should pay reparations to the African-American descendants of slaves, UN committee says Escaped slaves who were emancipated when they reached the North in the mid-1860s in Freedman's Village By Caroline Mortimer/Great Britain  29 January 2016 The US government should consider paying reparations to the African-American descendants of slaves, a United Nation working group says.  The UN Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent has released its preliminary recommendations after more than a week of meetings with black Americans from across the country.  The group also recommended establishing a national human rights commission and publicly acknowledge the trans-Atlantic slave trade was a crime against humanity.  Chairwoman Professor Mireille Fanon-Mendes France said the committee were "extremely concerned about the human rights situation of African-Americans".  She said: "The colonial history, the legacy of enslavement, racial subordination and segregation, racial terrorism and racial inequality in the U.S. remains a serious challenge as there has been no real commitment to reparations and to truth and reconciliation for people of African descent."  Click Here to Read Full Story  Click Here to Hear Members of the Welcoming Committee of the People for African Descent in Chicago Discuss the Findings on WVON Radio Phillip Jackson Testifies to United Nations' Committee on Education Issues for  People of African Descent on Sunday, January 24, 2016 Hello Madam Chairwoman and Distinguished Committee: One of the highest, most universal freedoms in the world is the freedom to educate your children to live free.  That is a freedom that is consistently, systematically and viciously denied the parents of children of African descent in America.  Children of African descent in America generally attend the worst, lowest-performing, poorest-functioning schools in America with the most ill-prepared teachers.  Rather than being encouraged towards excellence and productivity, children of African descent are suspended, expelled and arrested at schools in astronomical numbers. And in America, the law says that we MUST attend these bad schools.  In some instances, when parents of African descent tried to send their children to better schools in other communities, they were prosecuted and imprisoned for "stealing a good education." Rather than children of African descent being prepared to compete with the best and the brightest children of the world, they received at the very best, a third-world education, and possibly even worst, a slave's education. In Chicago, 2 years ago, only 10% of 8th grade Black boys read at a proficient level.  After two years of intentional work by the school system here, now it is down from 10% to 7%.  In Detroit, the number of Black boys reading proficiently is 3%.  At the rate we are going,with the same intentional teaching processes, in 6 short years, no Black boys in Chicago or Detroit or Milwaukee or Minneapolis or St. Louis, and maybe even across America, will be able to read at a proficient level. A study by the University of Chicago found that with the exact same resume sent out for job interviews, resumes with Euro sounding names like Heather and Bradford were called almost immediately for follow-up interviews, while resumes with African or Africanized sounding names, like Jamal or Shalisa were thrown in the waste basket.  These were the exact same resumes with the only difference being African or Africanized sounding names representing people of African descent. In Chicago a few years ago, 50 schools were closed, more than in any of city in the world at one time. And to show you how dire this situation is, the school that enrolls more Black students than any other college in the state of Illinois, this school, Chicago State University, is threaten to be close in about one month.  Poor education and bad schools = more violence among people of African descent Poor education and bad schools = more unemployment for people of African descent Poor education and bad schools = dysfunctional communities for people of African descent Poor education and bad schools = more incarceration for people of African descent  What do we want?  One, we want reparations now, including new and substantial investments in the education of children of African descent. Two, we want a parallel education system controlled by people of African descent that is responsible for educating children of African descent.  Three, we want the support of the U.S. and the U.N. to connect the education of children of African descent to the development economically of people and communities of African descent around the world.     Thank you for this time.  And safe travels back to your countries.  Attend the  The Black Star Project's  7th Annual  Daddy Daughter Dance  in Chicago, Illinois   Saturday, February 6, 2016 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm Chicago Lake Shore Hotel 4900 S.

None of you have to worry about your safety everyday of your life, or walk past mushrooms growing in the hallway. None of you have to skip lunch every day because the food is moldy, and the milk is old. None of you experience what we experience, and until you have, you have no right to speak on anything happening in our district." January 25, 2016 My name is Imani Harris and I am a student at Renaissance High School. I am a sophomore and have spent both of my high school years at Renaissance. Throughout my time at this school I have experienced good and bad things. As this year has gone by I have noticed many of the teacher sickouts, and protests. As I looked into them I have learned that I agree with everything these teachers stand for and I stand with them. Class sizes are too large, teaching conditions are horrible in some schools, and we barely have any resources. Things need to change, and we won't stop until they do. Teachers who have participated in this sickout should not have their teaching certification taken away. First and foremost, there are already enough vacancies without you taking away 23 more teachers. The teachers are standing up for what they believe in, and are doing so peacefully. Trying to silence teachers by threatening to take away their jobs is childish and unfair to my education.  I have a teacher named Zachary Sweet. He is one of the 23 teachers who may lose their job. Mr. Sweet is honestly the best teacher I've ever had. He is very dedicated to his job, he comes early in the morning to school to tutor, and stays after school for hours just to make sure that we understand. If there's anything we don't understand, he alters and tries again the next day. Mr. Sweet is my Honors Algebra 2 and Honors Geometry teacher, but he also teaches a German 1 class. Where would you find a teacher that can teach all three of those classes effectively? Legislators, the Emergency Manager and others have said that teachers are hindering our education by doing these sickouts, but the reality is that none of you live in Detroit, and none of you have children who go to a DPS school. None of you have to come to school every day and share books (if we even have books), or be in the middle of doing work and the lights cut off. None of you have to worry about your safety everyday of your life, or walk past mushrooms growing in the hallway. None of you have to skip lunch every day because the food is moldy, and the milk is old. None of you experience what we experience, and until you have, you have no right to speak on anything happening in our district.  We deserve better. DPS students are treated as dollar signs, and/or just a number on a slate. I'm sure that none of you even know what our schools look like, let alone what we look like. How can you all take away our teachers and tell us that's what's best for us, when you don't even know us?  -Sincerely, Imani Harris,  Renaissance Sophomore Click Here to Read Full Story and Remarks by Imani Harris Would You Drink the  Water Given to the  Children of Flint, Michigan? Oh Hell Naw!!! Not In America??? Quote of the Day From The Black Star Learning Center Question: Why so few Black millionaires? Answer: "The playing field is not level. Not here in the USA, nor in the global economy. The advantage gained during the period of global colonialism results in the exploitation of the natural resources in Africa, as much as the exploitation of black labor during slavery in the USA. In a global capitalist economy, the gap widens between the "haves" and "have nots". "The odds are long, but in the information age, we can improve our chances through more effective collaboration between blacks. Nevertheless, the great equalizer is education. As in poker, education is the ante to get into the game. One black millionaire won't make much of a difference, but one million smart black children have a chance to create some leverage for our people. Phillip Jackson at The Black Star Project in Chicago says it best, "Educate or die!" Roger Madison CEO, iZania, LLC.
